Man dies after running back into burning house for his phone

We all love our phones and these days they are a big part of our lives, but let this story be a warning. They are not worth your life. Early in the morning on Thursday, a house caught fire in Plano, Texas. The three adults in the home made it out of the burning house to safety. Their neighbors called the fire department and help was there within three minutes. The problem is that, once they had stepped outside they realized they didn’t have a phone on them to call 911, so two males headed back into the house. Only one came back out alive.

It is a sad story. There was no need to go back in. The fire department was on the scene within three minutes and was able to extinguish the flames fairly quickly, so this guy basically died for nothing. It may have been instinct, but it was bad instinct.

Just last month a man in Kansas went back into his burning house so he could save his Xbox. That guy made it out again, but it just is not worth it people.
